The United States has formally called on the European Union to modify its corporate sustainability regulations that obligate large companies to disclose environmental and social impacts across global supply chains. Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder posted on X that, under the Framework Agreement reached during trade talks with President Donald Trump in Turnberry, Scotland, in July 2025, the EU pledged to ensure its Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive do not create undue restrictions on transatlantic trade. Puzder warned that extraterritorial provisions of these directives harm American businesses and workers, not solely U.S. interests. A European Commission spokesperson, cited by Reuters, confirmed that the EU and the United States continue discussions on both tariff and non‑tariff matters, stating that the EU has clarified its rules on non‑tariff issues and remains ready to cooperate with the United States to expand trade where feasible. The spokesperson also emphasized that the EU’s regulatory framework and autonomy are not subject to negotiation. In addition to the sustainability directives, Washington is urging the EU to revise its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which imposes fees on imports of products that fail to meet the bloc’s carbon emissions standards. This pressure follows the implementation of tariff agreements reached in July 2025, as both sides shift focus toward addressing non‑tariff barriers.
